    Five stars for Hattie B's in Birmingham--no shocker there, but wow did they win me over fast. This was our very first visit, and we were in town with brothers from the Prince Hall Lodge, gearing up to march in Selma for the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the fight for voters' rights. The brothers insisted we had to try Hattie B's... and honestly, I now understand their passion on a spiritual level. I'm a full-blown fan. The chicken was moist, packed with flavor, and downright soul-hugging. The place has a cute storefront, plenty of tables, and yes--it was crowded--but the team kept everything moving with ease. I even wandered through the merch... those chicken shirts almost talked me into taking one home. Bottom line: if I'm ever back in Birmingham--or anywhere a Hattie B's exists--you'll find me at the counter, happily placing my order. And seriously... when are you bringing one to Portland, OR? We're over here waiting like, "Hello? Sign us up!"

    First time trying Hattie's. The employee that took our order wasn't very friendly but also not exactly rude. I got their new salad. It was so fresh and delicious! The ranch is not the homemade "good" ranch (IYKYK), but still very enjoyable. I got the medium heat index. It was a bit hotter than I expected, but still within the range of heat I can consume. The seating in the restaurant isn't the most comfortable. You have the choice of metal chairs or wooden benches. There is also an outdoor covered patio. I'd definitely go back to try other menu options.

    First time visiting, stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was a bit salted. I asked for fries as a side and was unaware fries came with the meal that would've been helpful information from the cashier. I did enjoy the outdoor patio space.

    We had Hattie B's last night for dinner. I was just in the mood for some good chicken. I ordered the dirty bird fries. And they were so good! Could have been hotter (as in temp), but overall was really good. We got our food quickly, and enjoyed it. Service was very very quick and I was quite happy about that. The pimento cheese macaroni and cheese on top was great! And I loved it with some ranch! I will be ordering these fries again, and I might go up on the spice! Oh!- and they were very appeasing to the eye!

    We were walking around Lakeview one evening and got a hankering for Hattie Bs chicken. The chicken was super moist and fried to perfection. I also LOVED the pimento mac and cheese. It was warm, delicious and comforting to my belly. Glad that they are open late!

    I've been eating here since they opened. Most of the time I enjoy my food. They went through a period where the food was salty or they would mix up the sauces (instead of medium, they gave you hot), but recently that has improved. I love spicy/hot food and I love chicken tenders. But the stars here are the sides. The sides are actually really good. From the pimento Mac, to the black eye pea salad, every side here is delicious so you can't miss.. The service is good and if you eat inside, they will bring your food to your table. It's a nice place to eat after work or on date night. I will continue to eat here when I'm in the mood for a little spice in my life. This is one of my favorite chicken places and I'm happy that they are here in the city.

    Family came here on a Sunday around 12 noon. There was quite a crowd and I was glad I ordered on the Hattie B's app 20 minutes before we arrived. We found a table and got our water, and in about five minutes we had our fresh meal in a to go paper bag. I got the hot grilled chicken on salad and it was so filling, I only ate half. My husband got the three tender strips with two side and he says the chicken was tender. My son ordered the medium grilled chicken sandwich which he says was juicy and plump. I did not realize they have a parking lot so we parked on the street a block away. I would definitely recommend this location!

    Just got a taste of Hattie B's at an Yelp's event and I wanted some more lol, so Hattie B's we go!! Ordered a dark quarter with 2 sides - the grits and the greens. Employees were super nice. My order was delivered to the table and I was able to satisfy my craving! I had to include a Pic of their Christmas tree because I really liked it, haha.

    A must-stop for anyone visiting from out of town! I got the Medium spice level this time, and it was the perfect amount of heat for me. I usually go for Mild, which is definitely more subtle and easier for those who don't eat spicy food. Definitely have to try the banana pudding. It's creamy, sweet, and the perfect way to cool down after the spicy chicken. I paired my chicken with the Nashville Comeback sauce and their ranch! Highly recommend.

    After trying Hattie B's in Nashville, I can confirm that the quality at this location is on par with the original store. Their fried chicken is always bursting with flavor and tender. I had no issues getting street parking close to lunch time. The crinkle cut fries and pimento mac n cheese are probably my favorite sides to order. Service was wonderful as well with a good amount of spacious tables for a large group. Certainly a solid 5/5

    Wings-Hot
    Tannesha G.

    This was my first time at this location and from the time we walked in the door, we received A++ Service! Nick deserves a raise as I feel he went over and beyond! There is indoor and outdoor seating with a very chill vibe. Our food was served quickly. There was no lack of employees asking us how things were or taking our trash away. Let's talk about the food...WOW! It was delicious and the flavors danced in my mouth! Everything from the Wings plate with Bacon Cheddar Grits and Black-eyed Peas Salad to Wings- Hot, Greens, Waffles and Coleslaw! Oh and let's not forget the absolute BEST Banana Pudding and Peach Cobbler that I have had! We will definitely return.

    We went here for fried chicken and this place definitely hit the spot. Their chicken tastes fresh, crispy and tender. Their season fries are good too. There is one female staff who was so sweet, especially to my child. The food was fast to come to the table after ordering at the ordering line. We would definitely come back here when we are in town.

    3 wing combo (medium) with fries and beans
    Darelle G.

    Hattie B's is always great! I have never had a bad meal. The beans are my favorite side item!! It's a quick casual spot, with fast attentive service. My family was trying Hattie B's for the 1st time and they all loved it! Definitely would return!

    The best tenders, beans, fries, & 'naner pudding' on this side of the Mississippi!

    I went there last night. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Chicken seemed greasy. I would take Gus's fried chicken over it any day.

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    There was a small dog on the patio laying by the owners feet while I was there!!

    Anything gluten free?

    Hey Anya! We offer the following gluten free items: Grilled Chicken Tenders, Southern Greens, Baked Beans, French Fries, Potato Salad, and Cole Slaw Our fried chicken is dipped in our melted spice blend, so please ask for gluten free spicing if you… Read more

    Please post any gluten-free recommendations?

    My girlfriend is gluten free and although we've never been together, she mentioned that wings at most places are gluten free. May have to ask first though. Also, sides like the beans are I believe. Unsure what else.

    How is the actual chicken? Compared to Popeyes or kfc?

    I agree with the others--it's insanely better. The quality isn't comparable with Popeyes and KFC.

Prefecing that reviews we read really highlighted the environment and the good ambiance. I think maybe you come here for beer and not for food in our opinion. Our Experience: First the prices on the menu did not reflect the true price. A bit disappointed in the food quality here. The kitchen sink salad was very obvious a pre bagged salad with a few pieces of chicken added and very old diced tomatoes. My husband got the patty melt and again- a bit disappointed in flavor. He said it tasted like a plain ground beef patty. Lastly, the server seemed to rush us even though we were the only other customer in the restaurant. Right after we ate some of our food, she came over and just held the check out to us. No comment or anything. It was a bit odd.
